Breathing Life into Electronic Product Concepts

Where most people see a product idea, John Teel sees potential. After 15 years as a senior integrated circuit design engineer at Texas Instruments, Teel answered his entrepreneurial calling and founded Predictable Designs. Channeling his lifelong passion for electronics, Teel helps small businesses, entrepreneurs, start-ups, and inventors develop and bring their electronic products to market.

“Uncertainty surrounding the cost of development is the biggest obstacle to an idea becoming a product,” said Teel. Most design firms work on an hourly basis, making it hard for startups and individuals to budget.
